Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the property's exceptional cleanliness, describing it as immaculate and spotless, indicating a very high standard of hygiene.
The property's location is highly praised for being close to the city centre, shops, restaurants, and historic sites, with easy access to amenities and off-street parking.
Guests find the house very comfortable, with ample space for relaxation and private bathrooms in most bedrooms, contributing to a pleasant and stress-free stay.
The property is well-equipped with modern facilities and maintenance is noted as excellent. However, a minor suggestion for a washing up bowl and a request for a washing machine indicate room for improvement.
While guests appreciate the owner's responsiveness and helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

Inverness is the gateway to Scotland's Highlands. Mountains, lochs, woodlands, and coastal cliffs are easily accessible. Loch Ness is surrounded by stunning beauty, yet most visitors are looking for something enigmatic. Culloden Battlefield located outside the city (National Trust). A walk on the field, location of the last major conflict fought on British soil, is a heartbreaking remembrance of the clansmen who died. Inverness contains museums, an art gallery, theatre, leisure facilities, shopping, bars, and restaurants. The River Ness and Moray Firth are home to a variety of wildlife and marine life, including red kites and dolphins, which can be seen from the shore or on harbour tours.

Lovely and clean with all our needs met. Maureen was very hospitable. A great place with easy access to the city and plenty of tour trips available to book. Would highly recommend taking a stage coach bus from the city centre yo chanonry point to see the dolphins.

Rooms are spacious and well equipped. However, washbasins in the en-suite bathrooms are very small. Restaurants, pubs and supermarket are in short walking distance. Would recommend this cottage for a group of friends.
